Chapter 3044
After her words, Cindy turned and quickly jogged away.
Martin watched her departure, his brow furrowing slightly. But he chose not to call out to her. He let out a sign, took a moment to tidy up, and then slowly made his exit.
The next morning at the port, Patricia and her team were stationed near Warehouse 3, anticipation hanging in the air.
The individuals who had come to investigate the area the previous day were identified as Everett's operatives. Having reported back, it was anticipated that Everett would initiate some action. Yet, the night had unfolded without incident, leaving Patricia to ponder Everett's motives.
"Captain, Nicole is here," someone quietly informed Patricia.
Swiftly turning, Patricia indeed spotted Nicole making her way toward them. She quickly approached to greet her: "Ms. Riddle, what brings you here today?" "Was everything quiet last night?" Nicole inquired, her expression marked by a subtle concern.
Patricia had briefed Nicole on the previous night's events, but with no further developments by morning, Nicole's concern had prompted her to personally check on the situation.
Noticing the team's heightened state of readiness, she deduced that Everett's group had yet to make their move.
"They haven't made a move yet. We're unsure of their intentions, but I've instructed everyone to remain on high alert," said Patricia.
Nicole gave a nod of approval. "Alright. Everyone, be careful."
Acknowledging her advice, they all intensified their efforts to stay concealed.
Nicole then led Patricia to a more secluded area for a conversation. "Has there really been no sign of them since yesterday?" "It's strange, indeed," Patricia admitted, her expression one of concern.
